Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Decrease of expenses related to occupational diseases. The Committee notes the adoption of the Council of Ministers’ Decree No. 175 of 16 July 2008 establishing the new list of occupational diseases, which is considerably wider than the previous list from 2001, as well as the Council of Ministers’ Decree No. 168 of 11 July 2008 regulating the procedure for notification, registration, verification, review and reporting of occupational diseases, which introduces criteria for reporting suspected occupational diseases. The Committee also notes from the Government’s report that the expenses related to the financing of benefits for occupational diseases have been decreasing steadily from 2008 when they amounted to 55,208 Bulgarian lev (BGN) to 2011 when they represented only BGN8,371. Taking into account that this decrease coincides with the adoption of the new legal framework governing occupational diseases, the Committee would like the Government to explain this trend in its next report.
